That is to say, "No L"

ADULTERERS --> TREASURED


I guess the Control-B shortcut doesn't work here. It does in Word and many other programs. Here you have to click the B button or else type {b} [but with square-brackets rather than these curly-brackets] before whatever you want to bold and "[/b]", (see? square brackets] after you highlight whatever-you-want-to-bold to select it for Bold-ing.

What do you call the guy who puts the names and destinations on Christmas cards?

D-->U

ADDRESSER, of course.


The [open-squarebracket[letterbee]close-squarebracket]selectedtext[open-squarebracket[/letterbee]close-squarebracket] method will avoid all need for control keys and even buttons. But it's cumbersome, and several keystrokes longer, each time, and fairly quickly gets tiresome.

Yes, but it shouldn't have been, because ADDRESSEE came before Red-Tressed Rita...

No matter. We are where we are. Let's release the DESERTERS
and resume concrete thinking with

PRESTRESSED.
